The team tested its gear in Greenland before the expedition
Climber Leo Houlding has successfully summited the Antarctic mountain he called ‘the last great climb’.
His supporters said the Cumbrian mountaineer and his team completed their ascent of Ulvetanna, the ‘wolf’s tooth’ peak in the east of the southern continent.
A spokesperson for Berghaus, the gear brand supporting the expedition, said the group made it to the 2,930m (9,613ft) mountain via its north-east ridge.
All are safely back at basecamp.
Ulvetanna was described by the team as the most technically demanding peak on the harshest continent.
The north-east ridge extends for 2,000m, presenting 1,300m of vertical ascent. Houlding and his team prepared for months, during which time they have helped the company develop and test a collection of cold weather products to be used in Antarctica.
The team includes Sean Leary, Jason Pickles, David Reeves, Chris Rabone and film-maker Alastair Lee.
